Little shelf

I finally finished one of my little projects. I picked this up at a yard sale last summer and decided I better get in gear and get some of these little things done before yard sale season is here again and I find more projects.

I paid 3.00 for this piece, it was in great shape.

The blue color county stryle was not what I had in mind for our Master bathroom, so I painted it white. There is something about winter that makes me want to slap a coat of white paint on everything. If I wasn't in so much of a hurry to get started I might have chosen a softer white, but this is what I had on hand.

Here you can see how it's tucked back in the corner over the toilet, and next to the shower. Ignore the wall color, I haven't painted this room. The plant is temporary, right now that seems to be the only place in my house he is happy. Hopefully as it grows I can put him back where he belongs.

I distressed the edges, and you can see some of the blue paint underneath.

Cute little birdies.

Rocks my husband and I collected from Lake Michigan when we used to live in Chicago.

Looks great! I had to laugh when I read " I picked this up at a yard sale last summer and decided I better get in gear and get some of these little things done before yard sale season is here again and I find more projects." I have been having the same thoughts!!!Cindy at Lakewood

I have to tell you, when I opened your site I was caught off guard for a minute. The little boy in the upper left hand corner looks EXACTLY like one of my nephews. IDENTICAL, seriously. Even the teeth and same haircut. I showed my husband the picture, and he asked me who those other kids were with Brandon (my nephew). Even my mom (who raises him) had to study the picture for a few minutes.
